Freeze it and it will just break up, you could try ice, but you can, or could, get an areosol freeze agent to spary on, works well on chewing gum too.............. :y

Maybe lots of ice or bag of frozen peas over it for a while and then it should break off, if you see what I mean.  :y

In theory yes, however I seem to be 'old skool' as a quick google found various liquid products, yet when I sold industrial cleaning equipment, in a different life, we had an aerosol freeze product............... ::) ::)

Freezing potentially damages the pile/fabric as you get a solid block containing both sweet and fabric... Spit is free and guaranteed to work every time :y
